were adopted which may he construed to
represent the views of the Democrats OF

whereas, said resolutions contain serious
charges against the cOnduct of certain hon
ored and esteemed members of the Demo-
cratic party, therefore he it
ResOlred, BY this meeting of Democrats
lst. That the Democratic masses of Har-
dy county are not represented by the de-
liyerances of said meeting, and that we as
Democrats disclaim any connection with, OF
responsibility for, said resolutions; and
that we do most heartily condemn and dis
approve of them rs means tending to pro-
woke further discord and inharmony within
the ranks of the party.
2nd. We declare our faithful adherence
to the principles and usages of the Demo,
cratic party, and we diSapprove of all acts
of the party's representatives, whether of.
fetal or otherwise, which lead to the sub
version of the right of a majority to rule.
Sd. An extra session Of the Legislature
will greatly increase the burden of an al
ready over-tsxed people, and the condemna,
ton of the taxpayers should rest upon
whoever may be Justly held responsible for
its necessity;
4th. That these resolutions be published

PITTSBURGH, PA, March l3.-At a
meeting of the Pittsburg branch of the
National Secular Union held here to-day,
resolutions deploriug the demise Of Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher were adopted. The
resolutions briefly state that in the death
of Mr.. Beecher the country has lost a
good and wise man, one OF her foremost
citizens. He was magnanimous, benevo-
lewt, industrious, Just and temperate;
was an enemy of superstition aud secta-
rian bigotry; man who progressed with
the times, and of all the gospel ministers,
he was about the nearest Of being what
seeularists believe ministers of the nlne-
teenth century ought to be.

A SOMBRE DECORUM
PERyApES THE FUNERAL OF fHB WIFE
OF ANARCHIST NERBR
Everything Extraordinarily Quia-ouly Quarter
Of the Expected Crowd Present -hminsnt
Anarchists Absent and No Fiery
Speeches hads

CHICAGO, ILL March 13-Extreme
quiet marked the burial Of Mrs. Neebe TO-
day. Fully forty thousand people shivered
three hours in bleak wind, waiting for
the obsequies of the noted Anarchists wife
to commence, and were only rewarded by
the sight of procession that except in
size, differed only in few minor details
from the ordinary funeral. Last evening
the Master Of Ceremonies estimated %, 900
sgmpathysers would be in line. Whether
the absence Of the Anarchist Wild
over dampened. - the enthusiasm or
the tact that the police were
taking extraordinary precautions to
quell disorder had like effect the
demonstration fell far short of its promo
ters' predictions Including persons in the
IL carriages and buggiss there were prob.
ably 5000 in the oortege. The fun
eral services were held in Miller's Hall.
which less than twelve hours before had
been the scene Of n masquerade hall.
Every vestige Of carnival trappings had
been carefully removed. Here and there
were placardcd printed appeals for coutri-
buttons to the anarchist defence fund. The
stage and gallery were tastefully draped in
black and white, and ranged before the
footlights and around the coffin were floral
emblems and potted plants in proiusion.
NOTHING sYMBoLicAL or RELIGION
was visible, nor in the simple services was
there even the most distant allusion to q
future life. A well rendered chorus or two,
followed by brief orations from George
Schilling aud Paul Grottkau, and the
corpse was ready for the hearse. Schilling.
the Chicago socialist, and Grottkau, the
Milwaukee anarchist, failed to break forth
in their usual fiery strain. Capt. Black
missed train and was not present Mrs.
Parsons was also absent, and Dr. Schmidt,
the one-time soci.bist candidate for Mayor
of Chicago, sent letter as substitute for
the address he was 10 deliver. In conse-
quencc, the ceremonies at the cemetery
consisted mainly Of another speech by
Grottkau.
NONE OF THE UN'LorTH TArTERDKMA-
LIANs
who formed 80 prominent an element at
the Haymarket meeting, could be seen to-
day either in the procession or the multi
tudes that viewed il. The prohibition Of
red flags was scrupulously observed. Few
banners were carried and they were fnrled
and totally hidden in black draping. Not
Ia, A
single band furnished the only music in
the procession, policemen were almost
wholly kept out of sight, and the entire
affair Was characterized by an extraordin-
AIRY sombre decorum.

Stabbed to Death.

New ORLEANS, La, March 14.-Ery
Smith, (eolored), aged forty years, was
stabbed to death last night by Thomas
Roche, son of ex-COrOner Roche, who fig
ured prominently in politics here during
Governor Kellogg's administration. Smith
was stabbed six times, twice i'll the right
arm, once in the forehead, once in the
neck, once in the LETT arm, and once in the
back below the left shoulder. The last
named being the fatal stab. Eddie
Grinell was with Roche when the crime
was committed. About an hour after the
murder Roche and Grinnell were arrested.
They were found hidden in some rubbish
in loft. Roche denied having had any.
thing to do with the killing of Smith. He
said he had concealed himself because he
understood that he had been accused OF
the crime and did not want to go to Jail.
Smiths wife who witnessed the murder of
her husband has fully identified Roche rs
the murderer and Grinnell as the man who
accompanied him.
